To me, anyone who takes things to extreme levels following one sides format have been red pilled. The Left and Right want people to be angry hating everything about the other side instead of looking at individual issues, they really just strengthened their fan base like creating good puppets. Sort of like a cult. I disagree with most of what both sides tell me to believe in. If we cannot have a 3rd party, we should be allowed to vote on all individual bills or proposals instead of allowing one of the 3 branches to make those decisions for us.
...alright, that's two people now saying it's something else, so I'll google it real quick:
When the hell did the definition change?! That's not what it was even 5 years ago.
"The term "red pill" has since been adopted and interpreted in various ways within online communities and social discourse, often with controversial connotations.
Men's Rights Activism and the Manosphere:
In some men's rights and anti-feminist communities, being "red-pilled" signifies believing that societal structures and gender roles are rigged against men, often blaming feminism for what they perceive as male subjugation and disadvantage. These communities may advocate for traditional gender roles and promote views that are critical of or hostile towards women.
Political and Conspiratorial Thinking:
The "red pill" concept has been co-opted by some far-right and white supremacist groups to symbolize an awakening to supposed hidden truths about society, gender, race, and politics that they believe are based on lies. This interpretation often involves believing in conspiracy theories and may overlap with antisemitic and other extremist views.
General Awakening to Truth: More broadly, "taking the red pill" can refer to a personal awakening to a perceived truth or a rejection of commonly accepted narratives in various contexts."
My god...to think that phrase was coined with the (eventual) goal of teaching men to understand intersexual/intergender dynamics especially with women so they don't end up hating women for what they could never be to them (from their own delusions about women in the first place). What in the hell is all that other ****...
LOL. I have heard extreme liberals use the Red Pill term many times. Maybe the RIght wing says it more as I have no clue being I am not a follower. But, you cannot deny when people go over the edge in their anger against the party they disagree with that some media source or politicians speeches are triggering them without them realizing they are being used to fight their battles for them. I agree with many policies by both parties but will never dive in and agree with all of what one side tells me to believe in.
Wholeheartedly agree.
